exactly - if their choice of lipstick suits your needs use it, enjoy it, 
but if you need to get out the heavy-duty makeup remover before you can 
set it up to work the way you want then maybe the lipstick isn't such a 
good idea for you.

Also, though it is Sid based it does have quite a lot of additions and 
alterations to make it work the way it does, it is heavily 
pre-configured and is based on a snapshot of Sid at some point in the 
past. If that snapshot isn't the right one for your hardware, or your 
particular needs, then you need to wait till the next release and hope 
it will work better for you. Using Sid it may be better to be able to 
keep up to date on a much more regular basis - especially if you make 
sure you have the ability to go back when a step does not work out for you.
